A design faultline running the length of this Herne Bay house is a window into its pastWhen PJ and Viv Burrowes finished renovating their villa, a vicious crack ran through the ceiling, front to back.
It pierced the hallway, ran a jagged line through the living space and ended up slashing through the wall at the back.
But they weren't disturbed by it at all; in fact they loved it.
The "faultline" was a device designed by Serban Teodorescu, who planned it as a clever way of having two layers of history existing on view, one on top of the other.
The crack acts like a peephole, revealing the villas more decorative past beneath, showing that the original ceilings and their mouldings are still hiding above the modern lowered floating ceiling.
